Review: Noah Zarc: Cataclysm

Noah Zarc: Cataclysm
Noah Zarc: Cataclysm by D. Robert Pease
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“This is how you get things done. Find the right people, put them in a room, lock the doors, and throw lots of money at them.”

Noah is off to find out more about his past when he accidentally finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Caught between finding his family and his curiosity about his past, Noah does what any bot his age would — head off on a dangerous, exciting adventure.

A good follow-up to book one, book two follows Noah as he meets new friends, encounters old enemies, and travels through space and time on his quest. Full of action, Noah and his can-do attitude shine, reaffirming that even the smallest, most handicapped-looking people can make a difference.

A well-written, adventurous read for young readers and even adults, Noah Zarc blasts through space and into your imagination.

New Release: Secrets of a Universe

Ok, for those of you who don’t know, I was lucky enough to be the editor on this one. It was one of those “right place, right time” kind of deals, and I’m really glad.

See, this book is set in my hometown (the name has been changed), is by a guy I swear I knew as a kid (but didn’t know him back then), and is part of a series to keep me busy for a long time. Though there were some road bumps in getting it publish-ready, we finally put it out there for the world. I truly hope it does well.

While the paperback isn’t out yet (will be soon, just waiting on the proof), the ebooks have hit the virtual shelves. I’d love to have some help spreading the word on this one — anyone that loves a good action-adventure, sci-fi should enjoy it — so if you’re willing to help, please contact me.

And now, the book!

Title: Secrets of a Universe: The Mindkey Project

Author: H. Brian Rawson

Buy Links:
Smashwords | Amazon Kindle

Blurb:

Krystal Taylor has been under the military’s thumb since birth. Her power of astral projection requires it — without daily Mindkey treatments, she will die a horrible death. She wants freedom from her leash, the freedom to let her flesh and blood, not just her mind, experience the world.

While on an unauthorized hiking expedition, designed to give her some space from her spying duties and the hundreds of government agents and prying scientists who keep her alive, she is captured by a band of terrorists, threatening much more than her life. Unless Dan Parker, the director of the Mindkey Project, and Dr. George Larkin, its key scientist, can reach her in time, the entire planet may fall into the clutches of the worst terrorist mankind has ever produced.

From the farthest reaches of outer space to the inner depths of the planet Earth, every soul — dead or alive — waits, unknowingly, for Krystal to be found — or turned into a weapon.

New Release: The Path of Needles

It is my pleasure to present to you The Path of Needles by Hannah Kollef! If you like fairy tales, be sure to check this one out. It’s a new twist on an old tale mixed with some modernization. A must-read, for sure! I can’t wait to work on the sequel!

ALSO! I have a wonderful guest post about where the idea for this story came from and what tales were its influence. Keep reading for this sneak-peak into the mind and world of Hannah Kollef… I mean, Kat Finnegan. 🙂

Blurb:

When 17-year-old Kat Finnegan is warned in a Brooklyn alleyway that her father is going to disappear, she shrugs and walks away. The next morning her father is gone–leaving behind a booby-trapped apartment and a mystery that has slept for a thousand years.

To get him back, Kat and her twin brother Roger will have to unravel the secrets behind the Rose Queen–the fairy queen who ripped apart reality and stitched it back together, transforming the Fey into the memories known as fairy tales. They will also have to come to grips with their emerging powers and discover why they are known to the magical world as “The Truth” and “The Lie.”

Hunted by demons and treacherous Fey, Kat and Roger follow the Queen’s trail from Manhattan to Newark. But neither the Queen nor her curse is what they expected, and more is at stake than their father’s life–and theirs.

Path of Needles is the explosive first book in the Paths series: urban fantasies littered with deadly fairy tales, tangled romance, and heartbreaking betrayals. Continue reading New Release: The Path of Needles
